[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 711602, member: 20054"] Hi RN. I'm exhausted "just reading" your post. Glad you had opportunity to tell him how he had affected you both. It had to reinforce your determination to hear him say he had made up the anxiety. It doesn't surprise me as I know in my head that they will go to all lengths.... You've gone above and beyond to try to help him, it seems right that now you rest and wait and see what happens. The ball is truly in his court. Sometimes we wonder who we would be if we hadn't gone through all this (and still are). Certainly I wouldn't have a panic attack when a loud car goes by-thinking he's in my driveway again bringing drama. Certainly my hubs would have time to golf if he weren't helping seek social services/insurance, shelter... ...and that's what Difficult Child never gets... I realize how blurry the line is now... BUT we also have soooo much more compassion for the parents hurting from their adult child's choices and indeed for that one "child" standing at the intersection holding a sign, homeless. He is someone's boy/man, grown but not... Prayers. [/QUOTE]
